Profile

Camvac is one of the world’s largest single site metalisation, in-vacuum coating and lamination operations. Camvac operates in the Liquid Packaging, Fresh Food, Processed Food, Industrial and Conversion markets. With the founders having invented the Vacuum Metalisation process, they continue to be at the forefront of this technology.

Situation

Camvac’s delivery performance was already at a good level (around 90% on average), however clients’ ever-increasing demands for improved service had put a strain on the levels of capital employed in holding stock. The organisation wanted to reduce the finished goods and semi-finished goods stock holding by 75 tonnes, equivalent to releasing £300,000 of cash. In addition Camvac’s General Manager had set the company the challenge of improving their due date performance to 95%.
